I'M A SPECIAL GUEST FOR THE #DMV EDITION OF INTERNATIONAL NATURAL HAIR M/U DAY

For the second year in a row, I have the pleasure of speaking alongside some fabulous ladies at International Natural Hair Meetup Day (INHMD) in Washington, DC. If you don't already know, INHMD, founded by Adeea Rogers is an annual one day event on May 17th, where groups across the world and I mean literally to infinity and beyond, meet up and lend a particular focus to natural hair. So everything from maintenance to styling to transitioning and more. Last year, I spoke alongside Celebrity Natural Hairstylist, Felicia Leatherwood. Felicia has previously been a guest on my show. Click here to listen to that show OnDemand. 

Not only known for her expertise and knowledge but also for her celebrity clientele which includes Jill Scott and Nicole Ari Parker. Additionally, Pamela Jenkins who is Founder of Koils by Nature was on deck. If you don't know Pamela, get your tix and meet her. It should be on your bucket list. Pamela is not only one of the nicest and most modest women I have ever met but she's GORGEOUS. Being in her company always makes for a good time. Koils by Nature is presenting this year's INHMD, and Pamela will be present and lending a voice to dish at this year's DMV edition of INHMD. And for those of you around the way, you know what DMV means. It means it's going down in your neck of the woods so you have no excuse not to be in attendance. The lineup this year is stellar and I am thrilled yet again to be graced by the presence of fabulous participants and attendees. Last year we dished on the perception of natural hair in the workplace. 

This year, the dish includes how to style and manage your hair at home, natural hair for kids and more. And some of the most popular bloggers, vloggers and personalities in the natural hair community like CharyJay and Diana Ramsey (to name a few), will be there. And then of course, there's moi. I'll be on hand as a special guest.  The event also includes a marketplace so you can get your shop on. Tix for INHMD can be purchased at www.inhmddmv.eventbrite.com. See you on the 17th!

"WEAR IT WITH CONFIDENCE": WHAT I SAID AT INT'L NATURAL HAIR MEETUP DAY (#INHMD) ...

Me and the FAB ladies on the panel

There's no denying the strong sense of community that exists amongst women who wear their hair natural and the thirst for info. on everything from products and treatments to maintenance and styles. The shift in the market is totally evident by the number of bloggers publishing content entirely dedicated to natural hair. Independent brands tapping into the natural hair niche. And mainstream brands clearly recognize the value as they are catering more and more and introducing products specifically targeting the natural hair community. And thus, International Natural Hair Meetup Day (#INHMD). #INHMD, is an annual one day event that takes place across the country and brings women together to network and share stories about their natural hair journey, techniques, products and more.

I was extended an invitation to participate in the #INHMD DC stop this weekend. Hosted by DC based Koils By Nature, I was both flattered and humbled to sit amongst a panel of fabulous women including celebrity natural hairstylist, Felicia Leatherwood, and lend a voice to my own personal journey being natural. I had a far less dramatic story than some but the response from the audience was awesome! My theme, "wear it with confidence." Click "play" to listen to my response about how natural hair is responded to in the workplace. You can share the "dish byte" too and please provide me your feedback. I'd LOVE to read it.

Upon showing up and awaiting my turn to "dish". Where's the mic?

The awesome spirit that she is! Pamela Jenkins, Owner of Koils By Nature
